I know what you mean. I have been playing with it to learn to write
skins and discovering all kinds of stuff.

I looked at the code and the best I can understand from the code below:
<!-- main ************************** -->
<menuset label="main menu">
 <screen layout="screen watermark"/>
<!-- <title layout="default title" x="400" y="60" width="400" height="60"/> -->
  <listing layout="main menu list" x="410" y="140" width="345" height="420"/>
</menuset>

that I am not sure it is possible to have 2 columns of even relative
positions for the main menu.

My motivation is based on having a large widescreen TV and I want the
menu items to be centered or 2/3 way off center to the right. I set my
geometry to 1920x1080 and you can see that the items are all stacked
up way to the left with the code above.

Right now, I am deducing the positions by trial and error ...

Thanks!
Partha
